IIM-A okay with govt on pay

Ahmedabad, September 30: The Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad (IIM-A) has “in principle” agreed to toe the government line on salary for faculty.

But it will be implemented only after a month to make room for negotiations with the human resources ministry on the proposed recruitment and promotion policies. IIM-A director Samir Barua said its faculty council had some reservations on the ministry’s recommendations on these issues. But it will accept the recommendations on compensation.

When asked if the IIMs will follow the example set by the Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) in this regard, Barua said the IITs lacked unity.
